Description
Crater Lake National Park is one of the gems of the national park system. The crater rim is approximately 6200 feet (1890m) above sea level. As a result of the high elevation and proximity to the Pacific Ocean, large amounts of snowfall occur nearly every winter. This image was taken from atop a 10 ft. (3m) bank of snow. Formed in the crater of an ancient volcano, Crater Lake is one of the deepest lakes in the Western Hemisphere. With an average depth of over 1000 ft. (305m) and a maximum depth of nearly 2000 ft. (610m) and no tributaries, the water is extremely clean and clear. This is what makes Crater Lake's water such a deep blue. This image was taken just before sunset on a very calm winter afternoon. The surface of the water has a mirror-like quality reflecting almost perfectly the sky above. This is the western portion of the lake, which includes the ancient cinder cone known as Wizard Island.
